Akok going to Arizona game

[browndog319]

Takes his SATs and someone asks what he’s gonna do next. “I’m gonna go to the UConn game!”

 

[HawkHusky]

Not according to what I heard a few days ago.

I would have felt a lot better about this post if it included a winky face...

 

[UconnU]

Bouk is friends with most of these big time northeast prep/AAU kids. He’s got to wear the salesman cap tomorrow for us.

A ton of talent in the house, that's for sure. 2020 class will only be a couplefew kids for us, so having some of our bigger targets in the building (springs, tabor, langford especially) is nice to see.

2021 is looking talented in this area. Hurley might load up that year.

Richie Springs could be our first 2020 land as he is best friends with Bouk. He would be the perfect stretch 4 in our offense.

Chief likes Springs. Making good progress on Kuminga as well.

He will, he even recruits at halftime - it worked on Akok.

 

[Chief00]

Chief will be in the house today. Briefs may be a little challenging, if we win. Lots going on after the game. But, focus right now is game itself. Period.

I feel like he doesn’t even need to do much. If Akok doesn’t come here after coming to pretty much every one of our games this season, it will be a monumental surprise.

Turned out to be an understatement actually

Kuminga’s game reminds me a lot of precious.

What’s w Akok saying he might still go to the draft

Lol....I think he forgets from day to day what he's said prior..........better if he doesn't say anything at this point

 

[Hey Adrien!]

That was my first game of the season. Yes, the loss was disappointing, but the energy was electric for the whole game and it was great to showcase the crowd's energy to these recruits.

Chill, bro. Wahab is still a fine piece to end up with.

Just to up his anxiety a little....Wahab will be committed somewhere before Akok decides about the draft I'm guessing. I don't think Akok is going into the draft this year.

I agree. I doubt Akok declares. Still, I wonder what his motive is behind this. If its financial pressures from his family, then speculation shouldn't end just with the draft. Precedent has been set in recent years for kids to have multiple ways of getting paid to play prior to the NBA(the g league, new balance, China, Australia, Europe, etc, etc). Obviously, this is extremely general and not specific to Akok, but if it is pressure from his family to support them, the threat of him leaving will always exist.
